Where to stay in Alcala de Henares
Staying in the historic centre puts you right in the heart of the Christmas market action, with most attractions and stalls just a short walk away. The Parador de Alcalá de Henares is a fantastic option if you want something special, set inside a stunning historic building. For something more central and affordable, try the Hotel El Bedel, which sits right in the old town.
If you prefer more flexibility, browsing options around the Casco Histórico will turn up plenty of hotels and apartments within easy reach of the market. Alcalá is also well connected to Madrid by train, so you could even base yourself in the capital and make a day trip of it.
